Ingredients

  • 2 Flour Tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Black Beans
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Corn Kernels
  • 1/4 cup Bell Peppers chopped
  • 2 tbsp Onion diced
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • Cilantro for garnish
  • Lime Wedges for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened. Stir in black beans, corn, cumin, and chili powder. Mash slightly with the back of a spoon to create a creamy, chunky filling.
  • Assemble the Quesadillas. Lay a tortilla flat, sprinkle with cheese, add a layer of black bean mixture, and top with more cheese. Place another tortilla on top (or fold in half for single-layer quesadillas).
  • Cook to Crispy Perfection. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  • Slice and Serve. Cut into wedges and serve hot with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce.
